Hi all (accidentally posted this another thread)
In MAJOR need of help. I have my PS3 as a custom build. Essentially I have gutted the console and mounted it in a PC case with a clear side panel and attached it to Laptop display with a driver board for the display. As part of this custom build I used the PC Case power button to power on the console when needed. This has had the undesired effect of removing my ability to boot into Safe mode.
This is where I have an issue.
I have been ignoring the warnings from the console to carry out the checks on the drive and now I have to restore the file system, usually not a problem, HOWEVER, it is now getting stuck at 35%. I mean STUCK. I left it for almost 2 hours like this.
Managed to get the console to display the "Connect controller via cable" screen and tried to reinstall the CFW however that froze at 98% for around 40 minutes. Force powered it off and rebooted it and get the Corrupt File System screen again.
Does anyone know of any other ways to force a safe mode boot on the console?
